Frost Warning and Fall Photo Opportunity
The first frost warning for our area in the northeast is this evening so it was time
to go out into the garden and start preparing it for the approaching winter. Fall is a bittersweet time of year for me since I long to be in the garden as much as
possible and as the temperatures decrease I know the time outside is limited. On
the other hand the colors of fall are spectacular and the gardens seem to come to
life one last time before they go into dormancy. Before starting my fall clean up today I figured I would get some last photos. There are still a few blooms hanging on before it gets too cold so come take a look!

Autumn does have some merit with all the changing colors that are so beautiful at this time of year. For now I will just have to enjoy the beauty of fall and start planning for next year when the garden comes to life once again. As Always...Happy Gardening!
